Our Heritage
Where It All Began
In 1948, Jeff’s maternal great grandfather, Edgar Buys, got the ball rolling that would lead to the Martin family’s APPLIANCE HERITAGE — now four generations strong… and counting!
The Tower Center store opened in 1990, and the Jacksonville operation has grown exponentially over the decades. Through every era of growth and change, the emphasis on service has never been lost.
You will find our folks enjoy serving you. From the moment you walk through our doors, you will notice the difference. We like to call it the “Martin Appliance Advantage!”

Florida's Local Icons on TV
Back in the day, Ken and Gary Martin began television advertising and became true local icons throughout Florida. Scores of memorable commercials followed that first broadcast.
To this day, we maintain a strong media presence — because we believe in staying connected to the community we’ve served for over 75 years.
That first TV spot started something special. It wasn’t just advertising — it was a promise to Florida families that Martin Appliance would always be there for them.
